Chapter 423: Engaging in Semi-Puppet Forces in Nanyang, Things to Pay Attention To!
For several days, thousands of people throughout the village were intoxicated with great joy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to celebrate the arrival of Zhu Zilong, the name of the village was changed to, Zilong Village.
This material-scarce village, because of hugging Zhu Zilong's thigh, now has an era of great material abundance in a photon rocket.
The more than 1,000 local Nanyang boys in the village all wore cotton clothes and beach trousers, and were armed with iron rulers, triangular thorns, switchblades, watermelon knives and nunchucks, and wore sneakers of various colors on their feet.
As for the girls in the village, they were also given small mirrors and all kinds of modern jewelry that they couldn't put down, in fact, most of them were mobile phone pendants and life-saving medicines.
As a price for obtaining these many novelty items, the villagers also had to pay tribute to Zhu Zilong, a god descended from heaven, with some special items.
Gold and silver ornaments, pearls, precious stones and jade...... And so on and so forth.
So, in this good atmosphere of singing and dancing, joy and harmony. The party is on!
Since then, this Nanyang island village, which has been renamed Zilong Village, has begun its new century.
Day 2!
As a man of God, Zhu Zilong conducted a preliminary on-site survey of the entire village and its surroundings amid the hugs of many villagers.
The village is located at the very tip of the peninsula, and the blue ocean is seen in three directions. The location where the peninsula is connected to the mainland is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and of course if there is a naval invasion, it will be counted separately.
The entire bay around the peninsula is covered in lush tropical jungle.
On the beach, there are many canoes and rafts, tethered by straw ropes under trees on the edge of the beach. Obviously, the villagers also go to the sea in normal times.
After walking for dozens of miles, I passed by a small village.
Zhu Zilong was stunned to find that the people in this small village lived in a thatched hut that was worse than a livestock shed. It seems that the haystacks that were common in rural areas in China in later generations are estimated to be able to get into two or three people.
The thatch on the roof is generally a little moldy, and even mushrooms and grass grow.
What made Zhu Zilong even more speechless was that in this small village, it was different from the big village he had just met, Xiaolong Village.
There are still some "lazy people" in this small village, who simply refuse to build such shacks, and sleep directly in tree hollows...... Should it be said that they have not yet escaped the obscurantist nature of the Stone Age?
Generally speaking, this island area is for the people of Zilong Village.
There are not many foreign enemies, and if you want to attack others, if you have the conditions, you can advance and retreat freely. Moreover, the ocean extends in all directions, so that this fishing port can also be more convenient to connect with distant places. Whether it is agriculture, fishing or commerce, there is a certain potential for development here.
Of course, the premise is not to be attacked by large-scale overseas devils and pirates.
However, considering the people here, the familiarity with the forest terrain, and the danger in the forest here. It is also difficult for outsiders to completely destroy the people in the village, or to get too many benefits.
The rest of the time, well, the style of painting is not right.
Because in the next few days, Zhu Zilong decided to let the people of Zilong Village unify this peninsula, so that they could develop and grow normally under their own semi-colonial and semi-puppet rule.
As a result, the animals in the nearby villages and forests were restless.
In the face of more than 1,000 villagers of Zilong Village with super machetes and watermelon knives, and Zhu Zilong who led the team with AK47 in his hand, he almost swept away the thousands of troops and conquered dozens of villages in this vicinity.
In just one week, the population of Zilong Village and the naturalized population have reached about 10,000.
It has become one of the few super villages on the peninsula, and it is still the kind of strong force.
Next, Zhu Zilong's people who asked to submit, including the people in Zilong's village, all changed their names to the Chinese kind. After all, their original names are too hard to remember and not easy to hear!
Here the people, the original name. They usually don't have a fixed surname, but only their first name. The son takes his father's name as his surname, and the father's surname is his grandfather's, so the family has different surnames for several generations.
So, to remember their names is simply a cheat!
However, because the god's surname is Zhu, no one dares to give his new name Zhu.
However, in order to cater to the request of the man of God to have a name similar to his. So everyone began to use their brains to think about what they were called!
What Li, Liu, Ma, and Zhang became popular, but there were also many people who wanted to retain some local characteristics, so there were more people with the surnames Sha, Shan, Shui, Mu, Hai, and Island.
Generally, one or two characters are added to the end of the surname, because Zhu Zilong strongly requires that the name cannot exceed three characters.
No one knows the reason, only Zhu Zilong knows in his heart that the reason for doing this is that he feels that your name has reached four words or more. It's easy to make him feel like your name is Japanese, or foreigner, so I don't like it.
No, as a staunch supporter of Zhu Zilong, the son of the village chief of Zilong Village changed his surname to Sha.
Zhu Zilong gave the name Zheng, and the full name was Sha Zheng (monk). Well, fortunately, the eldest son of the village chief hasn't watched "Journey to the West", Khan!
Only Yu, the second son of the village chief, because he was a little fat, Zhu Zilong gave him the surname Pig and his name Jiujie.
Sha Zheng (monk) and Zhu Jiujie, this name is also drunk!
Considering that the village chief of Zilong Village was old, it didn't take long for the position of the new village chief to be handed over to Sha Zheng, and Comrade Zhu Jiujie was outside the main and cooperated with each other. (The village chief's family is a mixed-race descendant of the Ming and the locals, and they are also half of the Ming people)!
Zhu Zilong's cottage Zheng He Treasure Ship No. 4, which Zhu Zilong now placed on the seaside, was not hidden, and part of the villagers' armed team was guarded there.
Because of the name of the gods, and most of them are staunch supporters of Zhu Zilong, no one dares to get on the boat without permission, and they can't get on it.
"If you have time in the future, it is still worth paying attention to here in Nanyang. If nothing else, Belitung Island and the Philippines, which are not far away, can be occupied in advance, and if they have the ability, they will occupy it first. ”
Facing the sea breeze, Zhu Zilong whispered to himself softly.
Belitung Island, an Indonesian island, is located near the southernmost point of the South China Sea and the northern tip of the Java Sea. It covers an area of 4,850 square kilometers!
The tin ore on it has not yet been discovered, and it will be a treasure land where the world's tin production will be about 10% of the world's production in the future. In the original history, it was only in 1851 that someone discovered the tin ore above, so it became an important one. It was mined by a private Dutch company, and then by the colonial government!
The Philippines has gold, chromium, iron, manganese and copper mines, as well as a large number of fields available.
Now, of course, there are some natives and some small kingdoms on top of these.
If they are obedient in the future, of course it is easy to say, otherwise, when the navy of the Zhu family army is further expanded, one day, Zhu Zilong will come here in advance to let them understand one thing.
He is not Zheng He, he is just here for sightseeing and pretending, he is here to sing and conquer.
When the thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times, Zhu Zilong suddenly remembered. Historically, it seems that there was a large-scale massacre of Chinese here in Nanyang in 1603.
Thinking of this, he immediately went back to the house and opened his laptop to investigate.
Sure enough, he found the relevant information, and Zhu Zilong immediately had a comprehensive understanding of the cause and effect!
In 1603, the massacre of Chinese in some small countries around the area was caused by the fact that in 1574, Lin Feng, a private armed leader active in Fujian, almost captured Manila, causing a small number of Spanish colonists to fear the Chinese.
So, they secretly began to spread rumors.
It is said that the Ming Emperor intended to occupy the Philippines in order to obtain the gold here, but who knew that the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty at that time really heard some rumors when the national business tax collection was not smooth.
Jingzhen arranged for someone to come over to check the situation!
So, this mistake was misplaced. Let the rumors be true!
Soon after, many small countries here suspected that the Ming wanted to "open up their territory". As the anti-Chinese sentiment grew, the intention of the West Philippine authorities to persecute and even massacre overseas Chinese became more and more obvious.
On October 3, 1603, the Chinese who did not want to sit still broke out, but due to a lack of weapons and military experience, they held out for only 41 days before failing.
The uprising soon turned into a massacre, in turn. Instigated and deceived by the authorities, all forces, including indigenous people and Japanese expatriates, participated in the massacre. According to statistics, at least 20,000 overseas Chinese were killed.
In this incident, everyone is a loser.
The massacre of overseas Chinese had a fatal impact on the local economy of the Philippines, with a shortage of materials and an economic depression. The authorities' financial situation has deteriorated, and they even need to borrow money to get by.
The Spaniards feared that the arrival of Chinese merchant ships would affect the distant Americas. The greater fear was that they feared retaliation from the Ming government. So, most of them also ran away that year.
More than 20 years have passed since this incident.
However, the foreign policy left for Zhu Zilong to think about obviously has a reference role.
